Our e-Referendum results tabled in Parliament. This, we believe, is what civic activism should be -- providing fellow citizens and elected officials with the information they need to make the right decisions -- and not supporting/opposing specific parties.

Launching our SMS based "people's e-referendum" solution -- a baby step toward a Swiss-style direct democracy where important policy decisions are made directly by citizens' vote, rather than by elected representatives. The solution is still in beta, but all your votes count! Please send in your vote (issue code followed by "yes" or "no") to 0767 001 001. Please share widely so that we can put the system to the test fully.

Why SMS: online internet polls are trivially manipulated by bots. Phone or in-person polls are prone to sampling error or conscious/subconscious bias by the pollster. Allowing only one SMS per subscriber greatly reduces vote stuffing, and the choice to participate belongs to the public (pollster does not choose the sample).

Why a referendum: we never ask about politicians, parties or sensitive opinions, only policy topics that you already discuss openly online. This allows us to use regular SMS without having to implement complicated digital anonymisation solutions.

* Data privacy: Raw data is stored by the telecom provider and is protected by their privacy policy. Data is downloaded for tabulation purposes and then deleted at the conclusion of each poll. Data will never be shared with third parties.
